Serpent & Staff
By Tuese
Serpent & Staff is mentioned in Scripture, too. They were used to heal and became the logo of medical organizations.
Numbers 21:6-9
6 Then the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died. 7 So the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and against you; intercede with the Lord, that He will remove the serpents from us.” And Moses interceded for the people.
8 Then the Lord said to Moses,
“Make a fiery serpent, and put it on a flag pole; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, and looks at it, will live.”
9 So Moses made a bronze serpent and put it on the flag pole; and it came about, that if a serpent bit someone, and he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.
John 3
14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who believes will have eternal life in Him.
16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.
The BIG QUESTIONs
Who was Christ lifted up FOR?
The same people of Moses aka Israel?
Who is the "world" in v16? Israel
Christ is speaking his words with a teacher of Israel, Nicodemus and scolding him for not having understanding in being born again.
The only people in Scripture ALIVE & then DEAD to YHWH were Israel because they were the only ones YHWH gave His Covenantal LAW TO and they BROKE YHWH's LAW.
Therefore, only Israel needed to be BORN AGAIN according to the Bible story.
John 3:16 is the most misunderstood, twisted and taken out of its context verse in the Bible that got BILLIONS believing stuff that ain’t so!!!
